Form-charms in Mercury have might to please;Form in Apollo is conspicuous charm;Formose in picture is Lyaeus limnedAnd Cupid most formose of all is shown.Freely of lovely form the lack I own;Yet is our mentule a resplendent gem;And this to th'erst-named gods shall aye preferThe damsel dowered with no fatuous coynte.
